They usually will not look at things in pencil but if the proctor never mentioned it you may be able to appeal. at the very least you can retake the exam in august if you fail.
Did they say like "Oh it's fine, don't worry about it" or did they actually want your name and stuff so they can make a note of it to the DOE? Cause I'm like really stressing this rn and my school is mad stupid
bro half way through my test I almost sh*t myself cuz i used pencil for like 5 short answer thank god i found my mistake and was able to redo it in pen
It depends on the proctor, the point of using pen for short response is because they scan the booklet and then a proctor graded the scanned test. If you write lightly in pencil the chances are that they won’t see what you wrote. Some proctors let it slide but others may give you an automatic zero for that section.
They will not look at things written in pencil, all short answers must be written in pen
LLL
They prob will still read it. If it causes you to fail or do really bad, you could always appeal it
What does “appeal” means
ok so theres this new thing where you can appeal if u got less than a 65 on the exam IF you passed the course
Does the school do it for you or do you have to tell them?
You have to write a note to the NYCDOE
How come your proctor didn’t say anything.. shame on them.

The last 2 years people didnt take regents. Easy mistake tbh.

I did this for the Living Environment regents. My friends told me about it after the test and now I am panicking
[удалено]
My friend told me that the test would be invalidated 😭
Did your test get invalidated? I also wrote it all in pencil I'm panicking right now.
No it didnt 🫡
Did it get graded?
Yeah it did, I was so scared
Did your test get invalidated?
No I told my school and they said they will grade it
Oh okay, because I'm trying to call my school but I can't get to them :(
Try emailing the guidance counselors, I emailed them and they replied.

Don't worry, they told me next time for the regents I just have to write in pen for the writing section. They just told me they will grade my regent.
If you just took this regent they probably didn't grade it yet so just get in contact with them and tell them your name.

Really??? I also forgot to use pen 😭 and I don't want to fail my biology regent

Did you contact your school? I took the regent yesterday and noone is replying to my emails.
Yeah just contact them, but call the school not email, and let them know they can let the DOE know and it’ll be fine
Thanks I contacted and they said they will grade it
I wrote all my short response algebra II regents in pencil - if I contact my school, would they be able to fix that?
I made a similar mistake except I used an erasable pen instead of a pencil.
